Episode 74: Fuchsia Dunlop

This week, we're excited to welcome Fuchsia Dunlop to Salt + Spine, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks.

Fuchsia is the author of several award-winning cookbooks focused on Chinese cuisine, especially Sichuan cooking. Her Chinese home-cooking book, Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking, won a James Beard Award and her memoir, Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China, won the IACP's Jane Grigson Award.

Most recently, Fuchsia published The Food of Sichuan, an "essential update" of her 2003 Sichuanese deep-dive, Land of Plenty. With more than 70 new recipes, plus vivid travel and food photography, The Food of Sichuan builds on Fuchsia's repertoire and research.
